In this video, I'm going to show you how you can remove a
background in Google meat and put an image of your own choice.
Normally, this is done by putting a green screen when you
are recording the video. So if I put a green screen just behind
me and record my video, or even live stream, I can remove the
background and I can put any image in this area, but it
requires a little bit of setup, you have to put some support to
your green screen. And it's a bit of a problem. And when you
are doing a video conference on any software, then sometimes it
is not good to show all of your background, my background is
clean. But sometimes you are sitting in a location where you
don't want to show your background to your participants
or other co workers. Or if you are a teacher, and you are
teaching online, you don't want to show your background to your
students. And you don't want to do the green screen setup, then
we have few other options to achieve this functionality and
remove our background. And this is what I'm going to show you in
this video. So I open a new tab. And now I type snap camera. And
the first result is the snap camera.snapchat.com. So if I
click on that, this is the website where you want to go.
And now you click on download, then you need to tick this
checkbox for SNAP camera privacy setting. You don't have to enter
any email, it is optional, you just click on this capture. And
then you can click any one of these buttons. Depending on your
operating system, I have windows, so I will click on this
PC, then you download this executable file, which I have
already downloaded. And this is the file on my desktop. So
therefore I can sell this and all you simply click on this and
install the software. And once the installation is complete,
you click on the icon, which will come on your desktop. And
you will get this screen and there is no available camera is
showing here because in my Google meet, I'm using my
webcam. In order to change my camera. What I need to do is I
just minimize this, and I click on these three dots. And then I
click on settings. Then I click on videos. And this is my
Logitech C 920, which is my webcam instead of this I click
on this arrow and I change this to snap camera and I click Done.
Now as you can see that my image has vanished from this, and then
you have to restart snap camera again. And there you will see
your image inside the snap camera software. Knowing my
Google meet, my camera is showing disabled, so I have to
click on this. Now my image will appear. Sometimes it takes a
little bit of time or some time it fails. So in that case, you
simply click on these three dots again, and then Settings, then
videos. And then if this camera is not selected here, you can
again select this camera. So in this way it will work. Now what
you need to do is you open your snap camera software. And I just
put these two side by side. And now it gives you the ability to
change your background and this is what I am going to show you.
But not all backgrounds are suitable in an official
environment. Some backgrounds are very funny, some backgrounds
are not suitable for office environment. And I'm going to
show you a few of these background images which you can
use in a professional environment whether you are
teaching or working from home. And no I have made this larger
because now whatever scene is here is appearing in Google
meat. So now we can choose some of the option to change our
background image. So these are some of the options so let's
start from work from home wfh. If I click here, you I have two
themes available. So let us say I click on this interview. And
no it will change the scene to this to Let's try another one.
If I click on this green, no, my background has changed. But you
will notice that most of these are not very practical for a
professional use. So you have to find something which is suitable
for you. I have found few things so which I'm going to share with
you so I close this and in this search bar, I type wallpaper and
no I will get few more options. Some of these are reasonably
good. For example, if I click on this one, this looks reasonably
good. Another one is this iPhone. This also looks good.
There is another one here, cloud which is not bad. If you really
want to hide your background, and in this way you can put some
other times in the search bar and try to find something
suitable. Another good one is this wallpaper in this same
wallpaper Such. And the problem is that every time you type the
same word in the search bar, it shows you a little bit different
results. But there are some good options available. And in most
of these options, you will see some problem which not hundred
percent correctly, removing the background and putting the new
image, but it is reasonably good. Another thing you can
search here is, if I type scene and press enter, some of these
results are also good. And for example, if I click on this
scene, it is an outdoor scene. So if you are talking with
friends, you might want to put this in your background. This is
another scene available in scenes this one.
No, as you might have noticed that I am sitting on a very
small chair, which is hidden behind by back, because as you
can see that my hand is also not showing very correctly. And if
there is a chair coming out of my back, that will not show very
clear. So if you are looking for a good background situation, you
must use a small chair. And don't move your hands above in
the scene. Otherwise, as you can see that it is not showing it
properly. But anyway, this is currently the best of the
available methods. There is another method of using Chrome
extension, which is something like visual effects in Google
meet or something like that. I have also checked that but I
think that is still in the development stage and it is not
properly working. But you can try that Chrome extension as
well and it might work for you. So this is it about this video.
I hope that if you want to remove the background you
wouldn't be able to do so thanks for watching and see you next
time.
